Mr. Speaker, the hon. member asked this question yesterday and I answered it.
I said that there was a general understanding among all of the finance ministers that it would be counterproductive for one level of government to fill in tax room given by another. What we really wanted to do was to get the economy going.
He knows there is not a written agreement. I said that yesterday. I made it very clear the previous six times he asked the question. The matter was discussed among all of the finance ministers and that agreement exists. I repeat it here again in the House.
If the hon. member would like to ask me the question another 16 times I will give him the same answer.
